Manchester United chiefs have agreed not to take advantage of their free European weeks.
There were concerns from manager Louis van Gaal that United's moneymen would insist on lucrative friendlies to fill the void.
But the Mail on Sunday says United will not attempt to cash in on any of their first four blank Champions League weeks following discussions between manager Louis van Gaal and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
Van Gaal has asked for and received a 10-week amnesty in which he can train with his players without the distractions of money-spinning friendlies to make up the financial shortfall caused by Manchester United's failure to qualify for Europe.
After that the 62-year-old Dutchman has agreed to sit down with Woodward again to assess the situation.
